I looked at several sites and saw lots of pictures of Norwegian Forest cats and I do believe that is the catagory mine fit into. The description fit them to a tee. The way their coat is, the mane, the tail, actually all of it! I'm sure their not pure anything but NFC seems to be predominant in them. I hadn't associated the fact that their back end is a little higher to a breed. How interesting.
Thanks again for the info. It was fun to read about personality traits.

Here is a good example of Summer versus Winter mane
Summer

Winter


You would think we lived in the North Pole with the manes that they get!!! I'll have to dig up some Summer/Winter pics of Peanut Butter.
